Hall Equities Group, ZMC Hotels, and W.E O’Neil celebrated a groundbreaking event in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Hampton Inn Scottsdale/Shea. This hotel will be closed for a complete renovation which will significantly upgrade the property with additional rooms and an exceptional pool and outdoor area. The hotel is anticipated to reopen as a Hampton Inn and Suites in late 2017. W.E. O’Neil, the original developer of the hotel, has been appointed as the General Contractor for the renovation.

The City of Scottsdale Mayor, Jim Lane, kicked off the event and spoke about the city’s booming tourist industry with over 9 million visitors per year, and applauded ZMC Hotels’ continued contribution at making the city a great place to stay. Key members of the Hall Equities Group and W.E. O’Neil teams were in attendance, and many had the opportunity to take a swing at the building with a sledgehammer to officially get work under way.
